During 1820 and 1920, most of Latin American countries were getting their independence from Spain, making their own culture that is different from the Spain. Difference between Puerto Rico and Cuba to the rest of Latin America is that Puerto Rico and Cuba were still trying to get their independence from Spain. In a war between the United States and Spain, Cuba got the recognition of an independent country but Spain gave the United States Puerto Rico as a territory. Realism emphasized observation and attention to the everyday life of ordinary people. Romanticism thought realism was not personal enough and artificial, which favored personal sentiments and spontaneity. Realism laid the foundation for naturalism, which was about observation but also stressed the importance of scientific investigation and the desire for social reform. The writing style that was effected the most was poetry. Poets that were apart of the modernism time period added the use of synesthesia and metaphors which made the work come more alive in their writing pieces. Poetic language came to be more elegant, musical, and sensual to the senses. Modernism effected a lot of people, did not only effect Hispanic Americans but also the effect extended out to Spain.
